Multi-Hazard Emergency Operations Plan Compliance Initiative
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Roma ISD has no publicly approved or reviewed multi-hazard Emergency Operations Plan, creating a critical compliance gap ahead of the mandatory June 1, 2026 deadline. Existing notification and visitor screening tools lack documented integration, leaving students, staff, and the broader community exposed to unmitigated operational and safety risk.
The opportunity
The June 1, 2026 deadline makes this a non-deferrable priority, and district leadership has already signaled budget readiness through approved safety and security modernization initiatives. Federal school safety grant pathways, including Title IV Part A, may offset costs, making immediate action both fiscally and operationally sound.

About this project
A recent school bus near-miss incident has elevated safety and liability risk across the district's transportation program. While new buses with seatbelts are being deployed, the absence of documented driver behavior monitoring and a comprehensive telematics platform leaves students, staff, and the district exposed to ongoing operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Budget is already approved for 10 new bus deployments, and a police vehicle replacement initiative creates a parallel near-term procurement window. Cooperative purchasing memberships streamline acquisition, and school safety grant funding may offset costs—making this fiscal cycle the right moment to close the telematics gap and protect students.

Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Roma ISD faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with current website accessibility gaps creating legal exposure and inequitable digital access for the community. No active procurement is underway, placing the district in a planning stage where early action can prevent costly reactive remediation.
The opportunity
Engaging now allows the district to design a compliant solution ahead of budget cycles, with Carl D. Perkins and ESSA Title IV Part A identified as potential funding pathways. Early planning reduces legal risk, supports equitable community access, and positions the district to act within the upcoming fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's technology modernization initiative has identified gaps in unified endpoint management and credential security, despite active use of cloud-based education tools and web filtering. Without centralized endpoint visibility and password governance, student and staff data remain exposed to preventable security risks.
The opportunity
ESSA Consolidated Title IV Part A funding explicitly covers IT infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions, providing a viable pathway with the current grant cycle. Acting within the upcoming fiscal planning window aligns investment with the district's approved technology modernization priorities and existing budget capacity.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates separate, unintegrated platforms for mass notification and visitor screening, creating coordination gaps that undermine districtwide emergency response. With a multi-hazard EOP compliance deadline of June 1, 2026, and no documented integration between systems, the district faces both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The June 1, 2026 EOP mandate creates a defined window to consolidate emergency communication systems under a unified, compliant framework. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement, and federal school safety grant pathways may offset costs—making action this fiscal cycle both timely and fiscally responsible.
